    Not only that, it's not like Noah is a difference maker on this team.

    Would he help? Sure. But he's not someone who makes this team a title contender anymore than they are now.

    I really have to disagree, having the ability two have two C's the quality of Noah and Lopez, (and keeping them fresh) would IMO be a "difference maker" given the offensive firepower this team already has, the ONLY question I would have would be chemistry, but I have a feeling Noah would mesh well

    Yeah, I also think he's definitely a difference-maker - a situational difference-maker. He alone will not make a bad team good, but he will make a good team gooderer and maybe even great. He's the sort of player teams go get when they're good and are looking to take that next step to really compete with the big boys.

    I think Chicago fans needs to consider another jinx. Similar to the Cubs. The Sam Bowie Jinx. I think the basketball gods have decided that their lucking into Jordan is good for 100 years. Think about it…..their high draft picks since then either did not work out, got hurt, or were traded too soon. Brand, Jason Williams, Chandler, Curry, Thomas and now Rose…………Something does not feel right……….it may be a jinx

    This moves Lillard up one spot in the league hierarchy.

    Hmmmm; I hadn't thought of that but yeah I guess he goes up the league PG rankings. Lillard and Matthews could both be all-stars this year in the East but in the West they have very little chance. Who are the all-star east guards? Injured Dwayne Wade? Kyrie Irving of the 4-10 Cavs?

    Sucks, I really like Rose.

    If they're in tank mode I'll be happy to take Jimmy Butler off their hands.
